Vice President Kamala Harris compares Supreme Court abortion ruling to slavery: ‘Claiming ownership over human bodies’

[TEH]

Further proof that this bird is an Indian and not Black

 

[TEH]

Does she understand what slavery was/is?

No

 

[Black Trash!]

Ppl purposely missing the point

It's disrespectful to bring up Black ppl every time something happens in this country when the country doesn't respect us

 

[BaltimoreTwilightMarauder]

People need to realize abortion isn't about "taking ownership of bytches bodies". There is ANOTHER person there, its not as simple as people just hate women and want to control them.

 

[Lord Beerus]

I'm pro-choice, but this is fukking retarded man. Equating slavery to abortion is beyond , it's disgusting. It isn't the first time this bytch has said some stupid ass shyt too.

She's a currycac doing what she's best at

 

[I Really Mean It]

She’s not wrong. But let the coli outrage machine keep running I guess.

“
Think about it: For the first time in generations, the United States Supreme Court — the highest court of our land; the former court of Thurgood Marshall — took away a constitutional right, that had been recognized, from the people of America, from the women of America,” Harris said.
“We know, NAACP, that our country has a history of claiming ownership over human bodies,” Harris said to applause.


This is the full quote. She didn’t explicitly draw any comparisons, if anything it came off more as a warning or political finger wagging. After all, slavery was once perfectly acceptable and perfectly within legal boundaries.

Ownership of the black bodies that fueled the engine of the slave trade consisted of men and women being removed from their homeland, of families being split up, of women being routinely raped, of grievous harm and even death being inflicted on those who resisted.

The comparison is a cheap and tawdry appeal to emotion that minimizes the horrific scope of American slavery.

They always make black people the crash dummies for controversial topics by wheeling out a stooge who can’t wait compare everything to slavery:

Got issues with LGBTQ? Compare it to slavery

Got issues with immigration? Compare it to slavery

Got issues with feminism? Compare it to slavery

Body shaming? Slavery…

Still waiting for them to pimp out Jews and Holocaust in the same manner

Vice President Kamala Harris compares Supreme Court abortion ruling to slavery: 'Claiming ownership over human bodies'

The Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade is expected to lead to abortion being banned or severely restricted in nearly half the United States.

Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday compared the recent Supreme Court ruling overturning a constitutional right to abortion to America’s history of slavery, saying “our country has a history of claiming ownership over human bodies.”
Harris’s scathing analogy came in a speech at the NAACP’s 113th convention, where also she blasted many of the “so-called leaders” of the anti-abortion movement for being “the same ones who are passing laws to restrict the ability to vote” on state laws that could make it easier to terminate pregnancies.

The Supreme Court on June 24 overturned its 49-year-old ruling in the case known as Roe v. Wade, which had legalized abortion in the entire United States.
The new decision is expected to lead to abortion being banned outright or more severely restricted in nearly half of U.S. states.
In her speech in Atlantic City, New Jersey, before the civil rights organization, Harris cited the name of Thurgood Marshall, the first Black person to serve on the Supreme Court. Harris is the first woman to be elected vice president, and is also the first Black person to hold that office.

“Think about it: For the first time in generations, the United States Supreme Court — the highest court of our land; the former court of Thurgood Marshall — took away a constitutional right, that had been recognized, from the people of America, from the women of America,” Harris said.
“We know, NAACP, that our country has a history of claiming ownership over human bodies,” Harris said to applause.

“And today, extremists, so-called leaders are criminalizing doctors and punishing women for making health-care decisions for themselves — personal decisions that it is her right to make in consultation with her doctor, her pastor, her priest, her rabbi, her loved ones, not her government telling her what to do,” she added.
“And these so-called leaders — so-called — claim that, ‘Well, you know, we just think that this is a decision that should be made by the folks in the states. People in the states can vote on this,’” the vice president said. “Right? But at this moment, many of those same so-called leaders are the same ones who are passing laws to restrict the ability of people to vote.”

At a briefing later Monday, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said she had not see Harris’s comment.
But Jean-Pierre also said, “She is correct. Today’s decisions are criminalizing doctors and essentially taking the rights away from women, taking the freedom away from women. Really taking away people’s privacy. ”
“That does matter. And that is important,” the spokeswoman said.

fukkin poser...

 

[RARI_Godwind]

She gon let them get away with it regardless

I mean, I can see your point of view

But I’m just saying within that context she is making the allusion to americas fetish for complete subjugation to the state. If they come for abortion rights, what would be next on the chopping block? This conservative Supreme Court has a good 30-40 years to influence domestic policy.

 

[Jazzy B.]

All these complaining ho's gotta do is keep their legs closed.

But they'll pretend that the average woman is having pregnancies that are a result of rape or that the average woman is likely to have life threatening medical complications during pregnancy as their own momma and aunties with kids aren't damn still alive.

Just so they can be loose with their coochie

Comparing everything terrible to American Chattel Slavery forces a narrative and it comes off as non genuine.

The abortion ruling can be it's own thing without comparing it to ADOS.

The comparison is an insult to the black people, though. Slavery didn’t come by way of legislation or a Supreme Court decision; it was imposed by the barrel of a gun and enforced under penalty of death. Black people who were enslaved weren’t able to take to the streets or crowd around the steps of The Supreme Court to voice their indignation; they were imprisoned on plantations where they enjoyed no freedom and would labor until their deaths.
